Arthrosamid®

A permanent injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery — redefining treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

What Is Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® is a permanent injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery — redefining treatment for knee osteoarthritis. The first and only approved injectable treatment that permanently combines with the knee’s synovial tissue, Arthrosamid® decreases joint stiffness, diminishes pain, improves the function of the knee, and enhances your quality of life.

Arthrosamid® is administered via a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician familiar with joint injections — ensuring you are in and out of the clinic the same day. Supported by more than two decades of research, Arthrosamid® is suitable, safe and effective for most patients with knee osteoarthritis, and is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain even three years post-treatment.

How Is Arthrosamid® Administered?

Before treatment with Arthrosamid®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee. You should also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection.

Your knee is cleaned prior to treatment, and Arthrosamid® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity — this is sometimes performed with the help of ultrasound.

When Might Arthrosamid® Be Considered?

Treatments for knee osteoarthritis have traditionally focused on pain relief and the management of symptoms through:

Weight loss
Exercise and physiotherapy
Walking aids
Insoles
Knee braces
Pain relief medication
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections
Joint replacement / knee surgery

How Does Arthrosamid® Work?

Arthrosamid® permanently combines with the tissue lining your knee joint, thickening it to provide a barrier. It is this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your osteoarthritis pain over a longer period — with just one single treatment.

What Are the Benefits?

Unlike HA injectables — where there is little evidence to show the effect is still noticeable at six months — Arthrosamid® provides a significant reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain over a longer period, from one single treatment.

Treatment with Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step out-patient procedure that does not involve the disruptive recovery period usually associated with surgery.
